Up, Up, and Away

Paula has been to MFD in the Grumman a couple of times to visit her dad. And as always, forever, she can often be found out doing practice GPS approaches.

Janet has been flying her 172 and a Colt, locally. She’s also working on rebuilding a Waco 10!

On Sunday, June 11, Jo-Ann and Jim Prater went to Marion, OH, where a pilot friend of theirs belongs to the glider club. They took a 35 minute glider ride. Jo-Ann reports that it was very cloudy.

Connie and Ray Copeland flew to Wichita, KS, for the River Festival and to attend their granddaughter’s high-school graduation! After a few days back home, they flew to Walker, MN, to put their annual potato crop in.

Marjorie flew commercial to Dallas, TX, and then drove to Wichita Falls to spend Mother’s Day with son, Jonathan, at Sheppard Air Force Base. They enjoyed a static display of vaious Air Force jets.

Jann took a break from instrument lessons and took two friends to the Flying Turtle in Mansfield.

Janie flew commercial to Orlando for a week’s stay with her sister at Janie and Woody’s Florida home.

Mary has been working with a friend to convert his Cessna 172 from a conventional gear to a tailwheel airplane. She also flew her daughter Emily and her husband, Kevin, to PMH for meals (on two separate occasions).

• Goody Bags - Janie McIntire verified the order with Scott. We will purchase canvas tote bags in natural with black embroidery at no extra charge.
• Sport Bags - Janie ordered 25 bags to start at $6.00 each. We can add more as registrations come in.
• Ball Caps - Janie checked into ball caps at the request of Marilynn Miller. We can purchase black and khaki caps with interlocking 99s embroidery at $9 each, no minimum number.
• Name Tags - We already decided on the type and size so all we need to do is order them. There is still the question of what we will hang them with. Marjorie Anderson will ask Exec Jet to donate lanyards and Paula Hook will look for ribbons in her craft room.
• Ohio Quarters - We have over 50 so far.
• Buckeyes - Marjorie Anderson has actual buckeye nuts for the goodie bags.
• Buckeye Candy - Joann Austin has a recipe. Marilynn and Mary will purchase boxes.
• Scarves - The blue fabric with silver stars was approved. Mary Biller will be making them.
• Dress Code - We plan to wear blue and white clothing with our blue scarves to identify us as hostesses.
• Attendance Sheets - The committee has been discussing how we will handle attendance issues at the business meeting. At previous section meetings there was a show of hands but we feel this is not a good way of determining attendance. It was decided that we will use sign-up sheets. Marjorie will make up the sheets as well as an summary sheet for the Chairman.
• Signage - The Kansas City chapter passed along the signs for our use.
• Registration Form - Corrections were made to the registration form. It has been posted on the Scioto Valley 99s website. It needs to be posted on the Section website and also in the Waypoint. If there is no summer issue of the Waypoint we will discuss at the July meeting.
• Decorations
       Space Shuttle Model - Jann Bowne purchased one model but has not been able to find any more like it. Marilynn offered to check the West Broad Street Hobby Lobby for more. These can be used for the head table
       Mars Rover Models - Marilynn Miller is making several for table decorations.
• OSU Astronomy Department - Paula Hook contacted the department chair to see if he would be interested in attending our banquet but he was not interested. He said he would post a notice on the bulletin board to inform others.
• Hospitality
       Kroger Donations - Connie Copeland has not made contact yet. Marjorie suggested that Connie try more than one Kroger.
       Paper plates/cups - Paula Hook will donate her blue plates and cups.
       Menus - Marjorie will try to get the menu from the hotel before she departs for China.
• 49½ Programs
       Paula Hook suggested that we have a list of options available for the 49 1/2s. She also suggested COSI, Franklin Park, Museum of Art, Jack Nicklaus Museum
       Jann Bowne checked into programs at Highbanks Park. She spoke to a woman named Susan who said that we can schedule a program for Saturday morning during the business meeting. We would need to let her know ahead of time so she can schedule the program.
• Meals
       Snacks at Bolton Field - We need to provide snacks and drinks for early arrivals to tide people over before dinner at JPs.
       JP’s Friday night - We can pick two entrees. We need to find out if JPs can provide meals for special diets and we need to coordinate this menu with the banquet so we do not duplicate meals.
       Saturday Breakfast - Buffet style.
       Saturday Lunch - Undecided.
       Food for Hospitality Room - Sign-up sheet will be sent around.
• Transportation - Paula Rumbaugh handling. Mary Biller will ask if Buckeye Nissan could donate vans for our use.

Please give your ideas and suggestions to Paula.
